Kyle has finally turned the corner on his recovery. He has started eating again and has been able to stop taking pain medicine. He returned to school today. I have missed him a lot! The one good thing about this surgery (besides hopefully eliminating strep throat) is that I have been able to stay home from my part-time job for two weeks. I LOVE staying home with my kids and always have. I have never been one of those who get fulfillment from a job. True, I never really had much of a "career" or job I liked before having the kids so I am sure that makes a big difference. But I am really hoping to be able to stay home permanently soon, thanks to my hard working hubby!
In other news Kyle had a RIDICULOUS project for school, especially for a 3rd grader. We ended up building a monument to Johnny Appleseed with the help of my wonderfully artistic cousin Missie. She and I did the whole thing and Kyle did...nothing! I don't blame him though because it was way too much for his grade level. I actually received an email from another parent today saying she found the project on a website for SEVENTH GRADE level!! What the heck?? Add to it that is was due during the holidays and for us in the middle of a tonsillectomy. Anyway here is the finished product. I hope Missie and I get a good grade.
In holiday news I avoided Black Friday like the plague but did get our Christmas Tree up. My bff's daughters who were visiting their best bud Kyle decorated my tree so fast my head spun. I am definitely inviting those girls over next year for a tree trimming party! Kyle gets bored after hanging like three ornaments and usually I am left decorating the whole tree myself. Here is the finished product.
So my favorite time of year is here, and no it's not Christmas. It is UK basketball time!!!!!!!! And the Cats are #1 going into the big game against UNC tomorrow. Go Big Blue!
Isn't it time for an update? Also when we come to visit will we make it into a blog entry?
